kim jong il is weird. people dismiss him as odd or something we don't need to pay close attention to. he is the kind of leader, the kind of regime that you have had successive presidents going back 30 years warning about. unstable, potentially irrational, crazy dictator with the nuclear weapons who has a history of proliferation. this isn't speculative. it's history of proliferation. >> bret: charles, that is the question. leadership transfer in north korea to his son. there is evidence of proliferation with the syrians and others. what can the administration do that is different than what they have been doing? >> i think we have to completely redirect the policy. it's not to aim at the leadership in careeria. it's leadership of china.
